Flashing a gun and pointing it at people is immature and irresponsible, especially in the wake of the Colorado Theater shooting. It may be painful but it had to be done. Good on you, Lions.

Mon, 23 Jul 2012 19:12:04 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1067488#comment-1893263Its plain wrong IMO that guys like Berry; (and countless others); can act like jerks, get cut; and then just move right along to their next multi million $ deal with another club; as if nothing happened.

Bans for guys like Berry ought to be NFL wide. Time for Roger to bring the hammer down and kick them out of the league.

Hard lessons need to be taught and learned. I for one am fed up about reading about guys like Berry.

As a die hard Lions fan this was the right decision. Aaron Berry might catch on with another team but will at best a nickel or dime back.
_____

Do you remember the game last year where Carolina was blowing your doors off for the first third of the game? I’m sure you remember your boys scoring half a million points in the second half.

Did you see our secondary? I will take a convict like Aaron Berry over Captain Munnerlyn every day of the week.

The “lesson learned” is if you want to be a Detroit Lion and play on a team that is working very hard to establish a winning tradition — you have to show self-discipline in all aspects of your life.

The lesson learned is there is no tolerance for this kind of conduct on the Lions.
_______________________________

LOL, Not only do the Lions tolerate this behavior, THey will keep you on the team depending on how good you are. They are still as sad and pathetic as when they did not have a winning record. Thanks for the comedy relief.

Mon, 23 Jul 2012 17:18:00 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1067488#comment-1893040The Lions needed to do SOMETHING. I think this will get the attention of the other players. Berry might get up picked up by another team that isn’t frightened by a combination of drinking and gun-waving, but his capacity with that team will be reduced.

Lower pay and only a one year contract. If I were a GM I think I’d try to avoid the guy…

Good move by the Lions. Take a stand to stop these ridiculous arrests and send a message to the players.
==================================

In all honesty, the Lions should have taken a stand before THIS transgression. It shouldn’t take 7 arrests (3 players with two arrests this offseason including Aaron Berry) for an organization to do SOMEthing.

It’s almost a mixed message the team is sending. We will talk you to death if you’re an extremely valuable player or have only one or two arrests…but only up until after three players accumulate two arrests each.

I wonder if Suh got two arrests, would he get cut?

Mon, 23 Jul 2012 17:02:34 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1067488#comment-1893023Zero tolerance is on it’s way to the NFL for all crimes.

I think driving drunk or drug impaired is as bad as waving a gun around.

But the drunk people are generally relatively decent people. Gun wavers have issues. Therein lies the difference, even if both situations have horrible consequences and are completely irresponsible and deadly.

Que all the lions haters… Me being a lions feel indifferent about this because I think he needs to learn a lesson but I am afraid someone else will pick him up and then what lesson was learned?

So often if a player gets into trouble and is a starter they never get cut and get a slap on the wrist from their own team. If a backup gets into trouble they seem to be gone instantly.

Well done Lions, hope this guy doesnt get picked up, it’ll then serve as a lesson to the rest of the players, get into trouble and its the CFL for you !

No team is gonna cut a 1st and 2nd round draft pick having hardly seen them on the field over the offenses these two committed. Now if they didn’t “Get it” this offseason then the team has to do what it has to do.

You mean like you guys trading Brandon Marshall?The Lions did what they needed to do, and I haven’t seen ANY other team do that this offseason?

Such a shame that this kid just ruined his career with all this. Guys just dont get it. I would give alot of things just to play a snap on a nfl field

The greater shame will be when another team picks him up, totally ignoring what has just happened. And he will get picked up.
